Anti Aging Myths Busted by an Irvine Personal Fitness Boot Camp Trainer

Anti-Aging Myth Busters
Anti-aging products and treatments abound and each one claims to be the ultimate secret and solution to aging and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin as well as reduced health and resilience.
However, caution must be exercised in the use and implementation of certain anti-aging treatments. Not everything you read and hear about anti-aging treatments are necessarily true. Although advertising amazing results and miraculous effects may tend to lure you, be sure you are equipped with the correct knowledge first before deciding to give these anti-aging treatments a try.
While it isn't wrong to want to stay youthful and healthy, we need to stay realistic and grounded when dealing with supposed various anti-aging products and treatments. For instance, there are groups that claim that to promote longevity, you must restrict yourself to a low calorie diet.
This claim was made based on lab experiments done on animals and while it hasn't been successfully tested on humans, embracing this an ultimate anti-aging fact should be suspended. It is however beneficial for one's health and well being to maintain proper weight and body fat index. Proper health equals youthfulness.
Another anti-aging treatment being offered on the market is hormone therapy. Hormone therapy is the introduction of externally produced hormones said to have anti-aging properties that are usually produced by the body through natural physical functions.
However it is important to understand that there aren't enough tests and research done on hormone therapy in general and some increase of hormones administered can be quite harmful to the body. Instead of helping on an anti-aging quest, hormone therapy can prove to be damaging to the body. Yet another anti-aging treatment product on the market are anti-aging pills that are rich in antioxidants and are supposed to be taken as supplements.
Again it is important to understand that there is no conclusive evidence to show that the body actually benefits from supplements. Supplements are usually taken to enhance the nutrients and vitamins in your body that may not be adequately provided by poor nutritional diets.
Vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are produced in the body from chemical reactions triggered by eating certain food types. However, when taken in pill form, most nutrients and vitamins found in supplements aren't absorbed in the body and instead are passed out of the body as waste. To ensure that your body gets all the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants it needs then eat better and make sure you regular diet includes balanced portions of all the food essentials like the proper servings of fruits and vegetables.

Irvine Personal Trainer - Personal Fitness Training in Irvine - Fitness Training Tips

A note from Dr. John Spencer Ellis and Orange County Adventure Boot Camp

On Saturday, I went to the beach to ride my bike and have some fun. The crowds were incredible due to the record size waves. The power of nature is incredible!

As I road from Balboa (The Wedge) down to Seal Beach and back, I couldn’t help but notice how so many people are still lacking fitness and weight management. Don’t get me wrong, many people looked great. It was obvious they live the fitness lifestyle.

This got me thinking…….. What are so many people still missing?

I want to make sure that YOU have everything you want and need to be fit, lean and strong. So, here’s a quick list of what is needed to look and feel the part.

You need motivation, clarity of thought, and the elimination of self-sabotage. No problem, MY PERSONAL COACH can help you this coming weekend. Check out CORE TRANSFORMATION.
You need deep, quality sleep. It’s actually more complex than just getting to bed at a decent hour. You can fall asleep more easily, dream in brilliant color, awake refreshed and benefit from the hormone optimization that comes with perfect sleep. You can learn EVERYTHING you need to know with my special report. It’s my gift to you. Grab the DREAM DIET REPORT at http://www.spencerbroadcasting.com.

Quality, fresh, organic foods will give you more energy, reduce inflammation, and help you stay lean. Remember, it’s most important to buy your organic food from local growers. Buying “organic” food from out of the area (or country) does not guarantee it’s really organic. For a fun experience, shop at Whole Foods at The District in Tustin. Incredible!!!

Quality food is #1. However, supplementation is a great addition to ensure there are no gaps in your diet. I suggest that you take a good multi-vitamin and Omega 3 to get started. If you want a NATURAL and non-addictive supplement for enhanced sleep, try MySleep. Here’s the link to my online nutritional supplement store.

One thing that I’ve learned about fitness (and life) is that if you don’t have a good enough reason “why” you should make a change, you likely won’t make ANY change. You may be moving towards something you want such better health, or away from something such as mental or physical pain.

Find what really moves YOU into action. Learn what motivates you most. Discover your full potential. There has never been a better time to stand above the crowd. While others may ponder, you will move ahead and gain the benefits of a healthy body and strong mind.I’m always here to help you reach your goals. All you have to do is ask!

Be well!

John
